Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today (August 14, 2022) said that she is fully aware of public suffering due to the record fuel price hike and load shedding, and completely empathises with them.

If things are bad, there must be a good reason for it.

Businesses today agreed to implement the government’s instruction to go for zone-wise weekly shut down of industries to save electricity and continue production in mills and factories.

State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid has said that the government is trying to minimise load shedding from this month.

The government has started rationing electricity supply to manage the ongoing energy crisis. But what do experts have to say about the real origin and effective solution of this crisis?

One of the first 'culprits' of energy leakage identified during the first week of the government’s austerity drive was air conditioners.

When you reduce or limit your energy use, you limit your impact on the environment. Remember, most of the electricity we consume comes from burning fossil fuels like natural gas, petroleum (oil), and coal, all of which are non-renewable resources. The world is in an energy crisis. However, every cloud has a silver lining; perhaps, this is a good time for us to start changing our lifestyles, habits, and energy use for a better, cleaner, and greener future.

Government must stop entertaining 'capacity' payments to the plants

The recent economic crisis has placed everyone on the edge of their seats. Citizens are worried about everything from power shortages to being unable to catch-up with the rising inflation. Hence, in these troubled times, RBR comes up with few solutions to minimise the scare and live a better life than expected.

The country experienced a total of 1915 MW of load shedding today (July 19, 2022), the first day of a new era of area-wise planned power cuts announced by the government, that many believed they had left behind for good.

No one is sadder than Dhanmondi restaurant owners.

Shops, shopping malls will have electricity disconnected if they are open after 8pm, State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid said today (July 19, 2022).

Authorities today (July 18, 2022) announced names of areas and respective timing for the hourlong load shedding in Dhaka and Narayanganj following a government decision to this end.

There will be one hour long load shedding countrywide from tomorrow to reduce energy subsidy, State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid said today (July 18, 2022).

The government has no alternative other than load shedding to address the ongoing gas and electricity crisis at least till September, Energy Advisor to the Prime Minister Tawfiq-e-Elahi Chowdhury said today (July 7, 2022).

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has urged the countrymen not to put up special decorative lights on the occasion of social events at community centres, shops, offices and houses in order to save electricity.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today (July 5, 2022) said that she is considering “area-based load shedding” for a specific period to save fuel used for power generation.

The nightmare called load-shedding is back. With a mild heat wave sweeping the country, people, mainly in rural areas, are suffering due to frequent power cuts.

Apologising for public sufferings due to power disruption in different parts of the country over the past week, State Minister for Power and Energy Nasrul Hamid expresses hope that power supply would be normal by Friday.

People of the country have been witnessing severe power cuts for the last couple of days because of a drop in oil-based power generation resulting from a shortage of fuel supply.
